In KG's 6th year at 23 he was far,far better on defense than love.Are u sauing he wasn't?

absolutely not. Love was a far superior offensive player at the same age however. It's basically a trade out.

In reality, this conversation is kinda not important anyways haha, I simply laid out why Love is a star player to a new user, lising his killer instinct and ability to step up and make shots down the stretch as a strength compared to the other franchise player we have had. KG and Love are totally different players.

If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

10 seconds remaining in the game, down by 2, I put the ball in Love's hands 10 out of 10 times. Kg had a great fade a way jumper, but it is a low percentage shot, compared to driving it to the basket, and taking a much better shot, like Love does.

The most significant difference between Love and KG, is Love's ability to get to the line. KG, like all the other wolves at the time, fell in love with the 17 footer when he should have been getting into the lane and drawing contact. Love is effective because he makes a concerted effort to get near the rim which means: 1. more fouls for the other team; 2. trips to the free throw line, and 3. More offensive boards and second chance points for Love and Pek.

The most frustrating part about Love when he first got here was his inability to finish. But now he has developed that little hook shot, and has become far more effective at finishing and is a far more polished offensive player at 23 than KG has ever been.

I get that KG was a beast on defense, and love will never be able to physically match his length or athleticism on that end. Despite the height and length advantage, Love is just as good on the defensive glass as KG, and that, last time I checked, was one of the main defensive assignments for a PF. Also KG played on teams with much better defenders, which allowed him a lot of freedom that Love doesn't have.

With the team the Wolves have assembled I would take Love over KG for the simple reason that we don't have enough scoring anywhere else to make up the difference. On a team with a dominant wing scorer, and a guard that can penetrate and get easy shots, I would take KG.

It's hard for mee to see KG at 23(6th yr)not leading this team to the playoffs even with this roster.Not because of offense because I agree love is a better offensive player than KG, but think I think KG made people better on offense and for sure made them better on defense more than love does.KG was probably one of the greatest emotional and vocal leaders ever as well as being probably the best vocal communicator on defense ever.I don't take those things lightly and loved watching it all those years.
